The American shot to the top of the leaderboard after making an eagle and three birdies in his last five holes of the third round.

Hole 6: Xander Schauffele (+2), Sam Burns (E)Two more pars for this group as they both card a 3 on the 6th hole.
-
Hole 5: Rory McIlroy (+3)BIRDIE for Rory!
What a difference when playing from the fairway! He pipes a drive right down the centre of the fairway – 50 yards by his playing partner.
That leaves a flick of a wedge into this green, where he spins his ball back to 6ft from the pin. A good putt finds the bottom of the cup and he’s back to +1 for the day.
-
Hole 6: Tommy Fleetwood (+3), Collin Morikawa (+2)Fleetwood back where he started as he moves back to +3 after a birdie on the 5th.
He follows up with a par on the par-3, 6th hole.
Back-to-back pars for Morikawa.
-
Hole 5: Xander Schauffele (+2), Sam Burns (E)A couple of pars for the group on the 5th hole.
Burns remains the highest placed player on the course just now at level par, in a tie for 36th at the minute.
-
Hole 4: Rory McIlroy (+4)Bogey-par-bogey-par.
The McIlroy start as he again fails to find a green in regulation.
This time on the 4th hole and the par 3 where he again finds the first cut, to the left of the green.
This time his second shot played to 4ft and he tidies up with the putt for par.
-
Hole 3: Rory McIlroy (+4)Bogey at 1, bogey at 3. A disappointing start to round four for McIlroy who cards his second 5 of the round.
Almost carbon copy of the first couple of holes too.
His tee shot finds the right rough and he looks to try and shape a shot with cut into the green, instead finding the front right bunker.
He splashes out again and this time can’t save the par with his putt and has to take the bogey.
-
Hole 4: Xander Schauffele (+2), Sam Burns (E)Bogey for Schauffele on the third which undoes his birdie in the hole before.
He pars fourth alongside Burns, who remains level par after his earlier two birdies.
-
Hole 4: Tommy Fleetwood (+4), Collin Morikawa (+2)That Sunday charge comes to an early halt.
Morikawa takes five on the par 4, 3rd hole before a par on the fourth.
Opposite for Fleetwood who pars number three before a bogey on the par 3, 4th.
-
Hole 2: Rory McIlroy (+3)That had another bogey written all over it for McIlroy, but a superb putt saves his par.
He finds the rough down the right from his tee shot before pulling his shot into the green.
It leaves his ball pressed against the second cut as he sits on the rough beside the green, albeit pin-high. He’s forced to blade it and does so to 12ft but sinks the putt to stay +3.
-
Hole 2: Xander Schauffele (+1), Sam Burns (E)Xander Schauffele is under par for the day as he birdies his second hole to move back to +1 for the week.
But playing partner, Sam Burns has gone one better, with birdie at both the opening holes to move back to level par!
-
Hole 2: Tommy Fleetwood (+3), Collin Morikawa (+1)Speaking of Sunday charges, might it be from Collin Morikawa?
Sure, he’s too far back off the lead but it’s a terrific BIRDIE-BIRDIE opening for him after a superb three on the second hole.
Playing partner Fleetwood opens with back-to-back pars.
-
Hole 1: Rory McIlroy (+3)Quite the opposite start than he was looking for….
BOGEY for McIlroy to start his round, with a poor strike from the fairway, finding the bunker to the right of the 1st green.
He splashes it out low and to around six feet before a tentative putt which sneaks by. Tap in five and he’s now 14 back of the lead.
-
Hole 1: Rory McIlroy (+2)Here comes McIlroy as he gets his final round underway.
We’ve seen plenty of Sunday charges from him down the years, though this time it’s to probably try and steal a top-20 finish.
-
Latest leaderboardThe lead at the top is three for Scheffler, with Alex Noren the nearest pursuer.
Jon Rahm finds himself five shots back, with Bryson DeChambeau a further one back.
-
Hole 1: Tommy Fleetwood (+3), Collin Morikawa (+2)Birdie at the opening hole for Collin Moriwaka, for the first time this week.
You can’t birdie them all if you don’t birdie the first!
Par start for Fleetwood on the first – a hole he’s played +1 for the week.
